Shattered Wings

Sorcery2 generic manaGreen mana

Green's answers to noncreature permanents have always been reactive dead weight until something shows up to point them at, and its answers to the sky have traditionally been Plummet-style shots that hit fliers and nothing else. The wrinkle here is scope. Stapling "creature with flying" onto a Naturalize means one card covers three of the permanent categories green most often needs to break: mana rocks, problematic enchantments, and evasive threats. Because the spell reads target, it still cannot be cast into an empty board; there has to be an artifact, enchantment, or flyer to aim it at. But once a legal target exists, the surveil rider offsets the usual cost of holding a situational card, digging a card deep and binning what you do not want rather than leaving you with nothing but the kill. That is a small, deliberate concession to consistency: the kind of rider that lets a narrow answer justify its slot. The surveil stays at one and the timing at sorcery speed, which stops it from sliding into catch-all territory; this is a proactive answer you resolve before the problem swings, not a trap you leave on the stack. The lineage runs through every green disenchant that had to earn its keep; this one widens the target list and folds in the scry-adjacent smoothing green has spent years learning to want.
